TotT:

Howard Foster. :err

 

Carslaw looks much thicker in the back and chest.

 

Round 1

Carslaw is coming forward, pawing his jab skyward, catching Rose's jabs and single-serving rights on a vertical left forearm when not jabbing. Carslaw is forcing his way in slowly but surely, getting Rose to the ropes and teeing off with hooks to the body. Rose is sliding back and waiting, throwing very intermittent counter jabs and rights. Watt has given the round to Rose on quality, but there's been very little quantity tbh.

10-9 Carslaw

 

Round 2

Carslaw hops in place and slips the Rose jab with some wiggles off to either side. Left jabs to the body and looping rights by Carslaw working his way in and threading under Rose's jab and narrowly past his rights. Carslaw lands a quick right to the body and then drifts backward as Rose misses some jabs to the head. Carslaw hops around and then moves in to clinch, Rose having caught him at the tip end of a stiff jab. Carslaw jabs the body, Rose jabs him back in the face.

20-18 Carslaw

 

Round 3

Carslaw is jabbing and hooking in from outside, leaning over. Rose is stretching his left jab out, aiming for the head as Carslaw drops it offline. Rights to the body by Rose. They move together and clash heads. Carslaw is cut!!! Very badly cut!! High on the middle of the scalp. They pause to examine it and decide to let it go, but it's positively gushing. Time in, and Rose immediately blasts Carslaw with a hard right to the forehead as he's leaning over by the ropes. Rose is taking control, jabbing Carslaw back as blood pours down between and into the challenger's eyes.

10-9 Rose

29-28 Carslaw

 

Round 4

Rose is bending forward into the smaller man while marching him down, leaning on him with both arms bearing his whole body weight. Carslaw tries to reach up and get a few smacks in around the gloves. BIG LEFT HOOK BY ROSE, knocked Carslaw's head clear around. Carslaw backs up and tosses high flurries. Single right hand rocket to the guard by Carslaw, diving. Rose tiptoes around and blocks, then throws some hooks and uppercuts in step. Carslaw misses a lunging high right hand, falling forward and then quickly leaning out of the pocket before Rose can think to counter. Carslaw is diving in with right hands over the top and getting stopped in his tracks by straighter ones coming down from Rose. A few nice left hooks by the champion from outside.

10-9 Rose

38-38
